3d camera to after effects
I’m gearing up to do an animation with 3d elements mixed with after effects. I need to get the same camera between the two programs (ae & blender) I have a lightwave .mot but cant import it into AE. AE can import a maya scene .ma which i’m assuming has camera info in it. but blender won’t export a .ma I have 3ds max for conversion pourposes but couldn’t get that to import the .mot either
any suggestions would help -

So many programs, but all the wrong ones, I’m afraid. Dunno, unless someone wrote a Python script for Blender to spit out copy&paste data in a text file or a converter for your other programs, It’s more or less bound to fail. *.mots are not even scene files, so tools like deep Exploration or Polytrans won’t read it, either. The only sensible advise: Find someone with Lightwave.

If you can find Al Street’s Transmotion Utilities Pack for Lightwave, it might help.

Mmh, it still requires Lightwave, though (at least for a few seconds to convert the data). ;O)

It’s been a while since I’ve used the TM pack, but I think blangbauer’s MOT file might be enough. Or not. 🙂

Transmotion is based on LScript which only runs inside LW. So without it – no go.

Ah, of course.

You can embed camera data in RPF files.
Can you just render a RPF sequence out of Blender?-stev=o

RLA should work too.

I’d do an RLA test first. Last I saw, LW’s implementation of RLA was kind of bad around the alpha edges.

No blender doesn’t export rpf I think probably the best thing to do is to do it right and use 3ds max from the get go
